RE: Printer Configuration Not Working

Sorry. Forgot to mention in my previous reply that the protocol that the
Windows definition is using is "Raw". Not sure what that means, but there
it is.

Look at the Windows port configuration that you are successfully using. You
might be LPRing to the printer and not have an open port and/or it may not
be 9100.

Vern,

I didn't state it, but on my first try that is what I did; i.e., let the
CRTDEVD auto-create the output queue. Same results/problems.

Hi Jerry

Since you are creating a true device, I'd say that you should not create
the remote OUTQ - the OUTQ will be created automatically, as when you
create a local device.

In fact, your OUTQ is only local - not a remote OUTQ - therefore, it is
probably deeply in conflict with the device. Get rid of the CRTOUTQ, my
friend!

WRKWTR shows writer CR with a status of STR and the test print is visible

Option 9 (Work with printing status) shows:



Status Description

This file is not associated with a started printer.

When I then use WRKWTR CR's status is END, whereas earlier it was STR. So

I

started it.

Then the Work with printing status shows (Status is pending).

While typing parts of this message, the writer's status went to END.



In the past all I have ever had to do was create a device description.

The

output queue mysteriously (to me, anyway) gets created and everything
(usually) works fine (with a little fine tuning on some rare occasions).



Thanks.
